| Tidal problems Are you sure you are accessing the high rez version? Tidal sometimes offers multiple resolutions for the same album.Beyond that, did you try resetting the app?I got the update and it works fine, though I did need to delete the previous version man... | |
| JRiver 18, should I upgrade If you time it right, when they are upgrading versions, you can get a nice discount.B | |
| Bluesound Node 2 - Next level up @kalali,I had a Modi Multibit, I sold it and the Bifrost Multibit and now have the Gungnir-which needs to get the multibit upgrade.What connection do you require for your CD player?The nice thing is that you can use it as a preamp or just as a DAC.B | |
| (Maybe) Definitive speakers +1 for Vandersteen and Maggies.Preferably the former.Though on your side of the Atlantic, there is ProAc, which might be better in terms of servicing. ProAc, though not exactly Vandersteen, comes quite close soundwise, but with a little 'English' ... | |
| How to Hook Up Vandersteen 2W Subwoofer Check out Hifi Shark, it has one of the best listings for items for sale.B | |
| Bluesound Node 2 - Next level up @kalali, I had the Modi, and it was pretty good. But, I think it is comparable to the internal DAC of the Node. You need to go to a Gungnir or Yggy to really get the best out of the music, and at under $2K used, I think it is a great value.I do ag... | |
| Subwoofer for Ayre AX-7e? @OP...As others have suggested, contact Ayre for the best advice.I am sure you will be impressed with the Vandy 1's. B | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III The Vandies will smoke the ADS, in my opinion. The Klipsh, again in my opinion, work best in large rooms.That being said, getting a recent iteration of the 3a sigs would be the way to go. Unfortunately, Vandersteen doesn't keep records of when a s... | |
| Tube Preamps..... Atma-Sphere UV-1 and an Ayre Codex DAC would be my suggestion.B | |
| Subwoofer for Ayre AX-7e? @almarg .My office rig is in a relatively small room (10'x10'), so I don't play music loudly and usually within a small range of volume. In any case, after setting things up the way I liked, I don't find the need to adjust the subs' volume. In fac... | |
| Shipping heavy speakers I will add to my previous post to say that U ship is mostly independent shippers who are making a living by transporting goods in the US. So, unlike Fedex or UPS, the guy who picks up your speakers is probably the owner. Uship vets their shippers,... | |
| Streaming @echolane, I suggest using the topics dropdown and selecting 'Digital'.And, thanks for posting Primephonic. I just signed up. Unfortunately, no link with my Bluesound App.B | |
| Subwoofer for Ayre AX-7e? Though I am biased toward Vandersteen, I have to second Johnny's recommendation.Your speakers are probably the weakest part of your system, and the M5 are the lower end of the Epos offerings. That being said, the Ayre integrated that you have is a... | |
| Shipping heavy speakers +1 on U ship, they delivered a pair of Vandy 3a sigs to NC (from NY) with no problem.Do you have the packing material? If not, I suggest getting them properly boxed and wrapped and put on pallets. At 240 lbs., they will need a forklift. Any seriou... | |
| Dust Cover for Amps If you know someone with a sewing machine, you can have one made for a couple of bucks in materials. That how I got mine made.B |
